Mon, 15 Jul 2013 23:52:40 +0000http://roundersandrogues.wordpress.com/?p=809#comment-733As the saying goes: “Show me yours and I’ll show you mine”
If government is afraid of what its own people think, then somethings really wrong here.
Finally, to when Mr. Obama, Clapper and William Hague says: “law abiding citizens have nothing to worry about”, then i would reply:
“-Sure, so it means you’re giving me permission to photograph your wife and daughter naked and then sell it to whom i want? Because that’s what government’s doing right now. “

Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:05:07 +0000http://roundersandrogues.wordpress.com/?p=814#comment-731Sorry for not responding earlier…I’ve been traveling for much of the last week and a half and I finally got to a place where I could read comments.

I agree with your assessment completely. I think a perfect example of the way in which the media has influence over the public is the recent NSA/Edward Snowden situation. When the stories were first made public the media was critical of the programs and the government. Thus, the populace was too. Since the government has had an opportunity to create counter-narratives and filter them through the subservient media outlets, it’s incredible to see just how much the public has shifted on this issue. Instead of focusing on blatant lies by government officials (let alone the intrusive nature of the programs themselves) they are debating the motives of Snowden, and what his actions outside of these leaks might mean. The result has been a shift in public opinion of the programs.

It’s nothing novel. It’s what propaganda has always set out to do, and more often than not, it’s successful. Credulous human beings abound, and so it’s nothing to appeal to their inherent sense of fear, as well as their desire to be led in some fashion. This correlates with your points on education, critical thinking, argumentative philosophy, etc.
